Staff Software Engineer

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Datadog’s Staff Engineers are our technical leaders operating at the forefront of technology, building solutions that take us through at least our next five years of growth. They do this in three major ways:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li data-pm-slice="1 1 []">As individual contributors, they bring world class technical abilities to deliver industry leading systems in areas such as data visualization, virtual runtime profiling, and planet scale streaming.</li> <li data-pm-slice="1 1 []">As technical leaders they bring experienced technical breadth and communication skills to tackling design and architectural problems spanning the organization, charting the right course, then leading delivery.</li> <li data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In both roles they participate in the staff engineering community and help us learn from what the industry is doing and what we've built before, and so improve company wide standards around software and systems engineering.</li> </ul> <p>Some examples of projects a staff engineer may own include designing and building a new data storage engine handling hundreds of millions of records per second, being the lead engineer building a new product like synthetics or profiling, or rebuilding a critical service to handle the next two orders of magnitude of scale.</p> <p><em>At Datadog, we value our office culture – the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Be the technical owner of multiple pieces of critical architecture in your area of the business.</li> <li>Own delivery of the systems you architect from beginning-to-end, doing what it takes to get things shipped and at full scale in production.</li> <li>Dive deep into performance of systems; inventing new approaches that bring efficiency at scale.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><
